Sunday Sanity 5/31/26

 Hey Friends,

Here is a nugget of sanity for your Sunday. Pastor Kenny Morris delivered an excellent message titled this. 

The Bible is full of examples of men and women of God who overcame their failures. The grace of God gives that same ability! Thank God for Grace!

“Failure does not have to be fatal!”

Sprinkle For Baby Girl Boggs

 Hey Friends,

The Boggs Family is growing this summer. My cousin Victor and his precious wife Emily are expecting a baby girl. 

Last Friday, we gathered with a handful of close family members. My cousin Lauren and Aunt Theresa organized a baby sprinkle to celebrate Emily and her baby girl.  We had a wonderful evening honoring and anticipating baby Boggs. 

Below are my pics and Lauren’s from the gathering. Lauren did a wonderful job planning and hosting the sprinkle. The theme was "A Cherry On Top."

We are excited to welcome another princess into our family!  I look forward to meeting her, she is due to arrive in July. Auntie O loves all of her babies!

Big Sister JoJo is so so excited to have a sister. Brothers Arlo and Theo will be great big brothers. 

Thank you for reading! See you tomorrow!

Flashback Friday David and Svea Flood Story

 Hey Friends, 

Today, let's do a FlashbackFriday. We are revisiting Dad’s Word For Wednesday YouTube series. This episode was aired in early 2021. 

Dad shares a true story that greatly impacted him and our ministry. To this day, this story is never far from my mind. 

Svea Flood was sold out to God. She gave her life while trying to win souls for Christ. While on Earth, she did not see the fruits of her labors.  Her work and testimony still touch lives in 2026. I have recently received a request for this video. 

Let me encourage you, friends: keep living your lives for God. We never know the full impact of our Christian endeavors!

Thank you for reading!

The Landress Family Friends For A Lifetime

 Hey Friends, 

Mom and I had special visitors yesterday. Bro. Larry and Sister Rosemary Landress were passing through our way. They chose to spend the evening with us. 

It was a much-needed catch-up with our dear friends. They have been our true friends for decades. People who go to bat for you and come to your rescue. We have weathered lots of life's storms together. 

Last night's visit was way too short; it was a shot in the arm for us. Bro. Larry and Sis. Rosemary, thank you for your loyal and continued friendship! We love you both so much! Thanks for stopping by to see us on your journey. 

The Lord spared their lives from a horrific wreck. Both of them are real-life miracles! They still face daily battles resulting from the accident, but they have came so far! Thanks to our readers for helping us pray for them. 

They are still working for the Lord in mission works in Mexico, El Salvador and beyond. God is opening new ministry doors for them. It is exciting to hear of God moving for them!

Bro. Larry still has the burden to distribute good Spanish Bibles to people. He just ordered a new shipment of Bibles. He is excited to distribute them to people who need to know about God! 

Thanks for checking in with us.
